    The Bhakti Cult’s Vision of Religious Reformation: A Secular Strategy for The Modern World
    (University of North Bengal, 2025) Bhattacharya, Apabrita
    This paper aims to explain the origin and significance of the Bhakti cult in medieval India. Though it has significant social and religious overtones, the Bhakti movement is fundamentally spiritual. The Bhakti movement may also be viewed as an effort to lessen animosity among various religious groups. Even though the movement originated in South India, its secular worldview quickly expanded throughout the nation. During the era of the Bhakti movement, there was a noticeable and profound shift in society. It encourages the idea of religious cooperation and fights against bigotry and social injustice. This paper has attempted to define the role played by Bhakti saints in fostering social cohesion. Secularism seeks to foster a few tolerant, cooperative ideals in our contemporary culture to create an unbiased, conflict-free environment. In this paper, I intend to demonstrate the principles of religious unity, emphasised by a few well-known Bhakti saints, that offer a secular perspective and strive for social welfare.

    Peace studies: a brief philosophical outline
    (University of North Bengal, 2024-03) Ramthing, N.
    Peace is vital for mutual and harmonious global existence. Avenues for academic and practical discourse on international peace are not irrelevant. Peace studies as an engaging discipline, having a global outlook, theoretical, practical, and normative, can be a promising platform for addressing issues concerning conflicts and violence through peaceful means. The enumeration and adumbration of various theories can set a perspective for pragmatically understanding peace for perpetual peace. Peace is not only an abstract idea; practical aspects are woven throughout the ideas. The unfolding of conceptual relevance to practical platforms is generated through the prism of inquiry into widely divergent spheres related to the issues. In light of the critical role of peace studies in fostering constructive conflict resolution to crises and conflicts, this study emphasizes the necessity of bolstering peace studies as an essential tactic for achieving global peace. Any endeavor for a peace strategy that aims to transform and resolve conflicts calls for a nonviolent approach since achieving peace is just as vital as the desired outcome: a peaceful international order. This paper is divided into three sections: the first defines and adumbrates the term, the second identifies and analyses numerous concepts, and the third highlights the discipline as one of the key facets of human enterprise.
